The spread Of the flames is said to have
been frightful in its rapidity. The eleva-

The GraydOn Divorce Suit.

1t will be remembered that year
or so ago, Lieutenant Graydon re-
turned from China to San Francisco,
and there exhibited projectile
which was effectively discharged from
a cannon, Notwithstanding it was
filed with dynamite. His departure
for New York was attended
with some peculiar circumstances
but it appears that he has
returned to San Francisco and
has there entered suit for divorce
against his wife on the grounds of de-
sertion. Mrs. Graydon is in Los An
geles, and although it is claimed that
she might contest the suit with sue
cess, it appears that she has decided
to refrain from so doing, and to allow
the Lieutenant to take his separation.
Mrs. Graydon is here with her father
and mother, and her father does not
speak in very complimentary man
ner of the Lieutenant. He claims that
his son-in-law treated his daughter
very cruelty, and that while in China
he did not keep the best of company.
Mrs. Gray don was not communicative
herself, but was firm ip her determin-
alton not to contest thelsuit.

MISS PERKINS.
She Has Not Returned-A MOurn-
er Drops Into Poetry.

Miss Louise Perkins did not return
to Los Angeles yesterday, and she
will not be in court this morning
when the famous case of Perkins
VS.. Baldwin will be called before
Judge O'Melveny. the mother OF the
young girl feels badly over Louise's
desertion at this critical time. Mrs.
Perkins has been a good mother to
the misguided girl, and Louise, if she
is possessed of one spark OF
good feeling will carry a
heavy heart in her bosom when she
thinks of the fond, faithful parent
that she has treated SO shamefully.
Mrs. Perkins said yesterday that she
was sure Louise would return, and
when the San Francisco train arrived
and Louise was not a passenger the
poor woman was almost heart-broken.
This is one of the saddest cases on
record, and most of the people who
held Miss Perkins up as the epitome
of everything that is pure and lovely
are now going around with their
thumbs in their mouths and have
nothing to say. Others who support
ed her with a lot of loud-voiced talk
are saying 81 told you So"
The attorneys for the girl feel in
censed at the infamous manner in
which they were sold out. These gem
tlemen have done all that they could
for the girl, and for small considera-
ton she throws them off and leyants
for parts unknown.
The report that she has gone off
with Fallon is hardly correct. This
boy is interested in large estate
at San Jose which is now in
court, and his presence is required
there continually. Should he fail
to be on hand when the case is called
his interests will be seriously leopard
lied. For this reason it is probable
that Fallon bid the unfair Louise fare
well at the San Francisco wharf. She
is not popular girl in Los Angeles at
the present time and it is hardly pos
sible that when she returns she will
be rendered a picnic, a bran dance or
a social. The case will be called this
morning before Judge O'Melveny, but
nothing will be done.
Some fellow who aspires to rival
Byron sends in the following poem,
which is published in order to dis
possess the writer OF the idea that he
can grind out poetry:
A LAMENT OVER LOUISE.
The fair Louise knows how to please
Not only one but dozens,
Her lawyers ALL both great and small,
Declare she lies and cozzens.
when she got the hard cash. with spirit
most rash
She levanted to regions unknown,
And left her dear friends without proper
amends
The loss of their fees to bemoan.
She says she don't care how the legal men
fare,
For they must, like Others, take chances,
And when they're so smart, they must all
take part
And join in the march and the dances.
The mourners are sad and feel very mad
At the trick of the festive Louise,
By her frisky career, so wild and SO queer
They have all lost the fattest of fees.
Unru(h)ly Louise will do as she please,
And "Wells" full of wisdom will follow.
He got her the money, far sweeter than
honey,
And that beats ''Sweet Williams all hol-
low.
In spite of friend Harris she's gone off to
Paris,
And skipped by the light OF the moon;"
And so the bright Perkins proved sourer
than gherkins
To those who had loved her too soon.
